Wait till the hype subsides before buying this game! Increase Your PM Length

I remember after the release of CTPI and CTPII the first few days was nothing but glowing tributes for both games. Then people started posting realistic reviews that weren't so flattering. Then the bugs started to appear, then the complaints, then the patches.

We've been down this path before - MarkG has already reported a crash.

I think you are better waiting for Civ 3.1, which should be out before Christmas.

The fact that there is no multiplayer makes it even easier to wait.

I have four words for those statements "hell no" and the other two would also be "hell no".

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Good advice, but I will still buy the game immediately. Canīt help it.

But if I am disappointed, I am going to post a scathing review asap, so Firaxis better not disappoint me!

Comrade, in order to get the game into your impatient little hands, they had to cut features.

Steve, that was naughty.

But seriously: I did not once tell them to hurry up. I have only been impatient since the game went Gold.
